If you look at our current prospect base though it looks below average (Byron ranks it 19th) because the last couple years we've drafted later, and had few picks.

I don't think there is any doubt that 2015 and 2016 drafts were home runs even if Fox didn't show up. But once you get past those 2 drafts - its not looking great.
2017 is looking like a whiff with Valamaki being waived, you're left with Ruzicka who is still fighting to earn a job.
2018 is probably a complete whiff which is to be expected when you don't pick before the 4th round. Too early to tell on the rest - but a lot of hope rests of goalies (who are voodoo) panning out.
